@Astraisnothere1 this is the best possible way to put it <3

@paledyingrose AU just has an unbelievable amount of whimsy, like yes allow me to move these characters over here and let them play in somewhere new for a bit. New sandboxes! New opportunities!

i love AU i love AU i love AU put my favorite characters in the wildest scenarios imaginable the more suffering the better DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE AU

@bluenotepad_a this is the dream truly

@paledyingrose If I was chilling at the bookstore with my sisters talking about books and somebody came up and started talking fanfiction to me, you bet your lucky stars We are about to have a TED talk. :D

i love when i overhear someone talking about books but i can’t join in because the only thing i’ve read in the past six months has been gay fanfiction

@sharky366M MEEEEE LMAO

@paledyingrose I read a lot of plot heavy fics so I just avoid saying any character names. And when they ask the title. It's "oh im really bad with names" or "oh, i cant remember"

sometimes the way people talk about fic reading like a job is interesting… “ugh just started this, a few chapters into this, have to speed through the last chaps of that…” idk just read and have fun maybe? you don’t have to be up to date on all the latest “big fics” or whatever

@chickendy_ THIS IS SO REAL😭

@paledyingrose “i like reading” “oh what books are you reading” “…” 😭😭

@paledyingrose Try four years 🙈🤣🤣🤣

best feeling everrr so blessed to have so many reader friends that do this for every chapter i post 🥲🫶🏻

Someone going through your fic and leaving a comment on every single chapter as they read feels so amazing 🥲 ♥️ like what do you mean someone just read my 100k+ fic in such a short time frame and said it’s a work of art. Do you want me to cry

@baepshane HAHAAAA i love that

@paledyingrose rose my aunt kept asking me what i was reading (it was your fic) and i had to blurt oh nothing just hunger games.. i was technically not lying but still

@Deny_005_ ughh i’m sorry. i’ve gotten a comment on one of my works that was like “where’s the rest??” mind you it’s a wip…😭

@paledyingrose Literally- Just got this comment... And it's like the most normal tags ever?? It's fluff and emotional hurt/comfort. What could have made them so mad??

so disheartening to see another incredible writer leave this fandom because people can’t just close out of the tab when they don’t like a fic and feel the need to comment something rude. whatever happened to just being kind? don’t like don’t read? anyone?

@datcheesycake a popular author in the hr fandom deleted all their works because they were being accused of using ai and just overall being disrespected :/ and they aren’t the first

@paledyingrose Holy shit, what happened? :(

@GSpersonalwife this makes me so sad :( we shouldn’t even have to worry about things like this happening ugh

@paledyingrose I’m sometimes so scared to reccomend fics on my socials in case the author receives any bad comments

@Astraisnothere1 this. it’s truly setting my teeth on edge…like this is all supposed to be for fun. can we not :/

@paledyingrose No, seriously what happened to basic etiquette when reading fic? I’ve been part of various fandoms throughout the years and I’ve never seen anything quite like this. The accusations of use of AI and just in general complaining about content of fics. That’s why filters exist.

@VGirolimetti amen thank you

@paledyingrose You need to willingly throw yourself into the cringe. You can edit horrible prose, you cannot edit a blank page. Write like Caesar first if you need it.

i love when i sit down with the perfect idea for the next chapter of my story feeling so excited to write it down and then i just CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT FUCKING WORDS

@y_saveralph THIS IS ME RN🥲

@paledyingrose Literally came to the part I've been waiting for since the start of the fic to write, but can't find the words 😭

@lnerism felt that 🫠

@paledyingrose me earlier, i wanted to throw my computer at the wall for a second 😭

@maddox87_ so true omg what is it about that opening line it truly sets my teeth on edge

@paledyingrose Finding the right opening line is the most difficult thing in the world 😭
